I would have thought attacking the seat of democracy carrying pipe bombs and a hangman’s noose for Mike Pence can only be described as radicalised. It’s what we see islamists doing in other countries.
We? That’s not what I mainly saw, although I did see what you mentioned. I saw dozens of news reports over many days showing BLM and Antifa during their protests, burning many many cars and buildings, lots and lots of looting, lots of attacking of innocent passers by, both on foot and in cars, I saw vicious and extensive destructive of property. I also saw reports referring to them as peaceful protests.
You are partially right, I’ve been recovering from covid since July last year and have had a lot more time on my hands!! So I’ve been trying to understand what has happened. It seems to me, if we can talk about these things calmly and without emotion we can learn from them. The media is not perfect but I can’t imagine a world without media. Countries where media is controlled by the state are not places I want to live in. Maybe some would like to be served up sanitised state sanctioned news every day but that’s a dangerous path. There is also an obviously a grave mistrust of politicians (both here and in the US) and yet good, brave people are out there standing as candidates. All you have to do is take a little time and effort to find out what they stand for and vote for them. If you feel strongly, why not join their campaign?
I completely agree, this is where the answer is. The extreme left and extreme right are unlikely to budge, however I believe most people don’t live in those extremes. Shutting down discussion, applying labels and insults far too often lead to breakdowns in meaningful discussion.
Depends on which mob you're talking about/to.
I hope somehow, somewhere, that these people on the extremes can put their differences aside and talk, perhaps concede a little bit of ground and move a little closer to the middle. Realistically though, I’m not confident that either would budge.
I suppose the left are referring to the freedom not to be killed by police? I haven’t heard them saying anything else?
That 17 year old has turned 18 and now travels back to Wisconsin where he was seen at a bar with some of the proud boys. He is from Illinois where the drinking age is 21, Wisconsin is 18.

Seems like a nice, stable, reformed character...That 17 year old has turned 18 and now travels back to Wisconsin where he was seen at a bar with some of the proud boys. He is from Illinois where the drinking age is 21, Wisconsin is 18.
